How different is
The universe we see now –
From reality?

All those stars I see –
From at least one, someone must
Be looking at me

Tanka T115
Night light icicles –
On the still harbour’s surface –
Hanging from nowhere –
On a windless summer night –
In the middle of summer

One Stanza Poem O024
Some time ago – when my light first shone –
I provided several planets with their first dawn –
Now – years after my birth –
My light has finally reached the Earth –
So tonight – look up to where the birds fly –
And look for the new star in the sky

One Stanza Poem O013
My mistress has a heart and a set of eyes
That beckon my attention –
Whilst they – in truth – advise
That I should stay away if I am wise –
Her heart is a beacon in the night –
Whilst her eyes are beacons in the light
